10 pairs of tickets will be given away to Folio members

The Folio Society and House of Illustration are hosting an event on Monday 4 July 2011 to announce the winners of their inaugural Book Illustration Competition. The prizes will be presented by Quentin Blake, who judged the competition together with Simon Callow, Laura Carlin, who illustrated our edition of The Collected Stories of Anton Chekhov, Joe Whitlock Blundell and Sheri Gee from The Folio Society and Claudia Zeff from House of Illustration.

Competitors were asked to submit trial illustrations for Albert Camus’ The Outsider, and the winner has been commissioned to illustrate the book in its entirety. Five runners up will receive cheques for £500.

The event will take place at a venue in London’s West End from 6.30pm on 4 July. If you would like the chance to win a pair of tickets to attend the event, email us here and we will enter you into a draw. We will announce the names of our 10 winners by 17 June.
